I recently downloaded a Dell diagnostic tool to my flash drive. It converted it from an 8GB NTFS drive to a 2GB FAT drive with 6GB of unallocated space. I thought this was fine at the time as I planned to simply convert it back to NTFS and reallocate the memory. However, I'm unable to recover the...

Hello, I'm the Assistant Editor on SearchWindowsSecurity.com. I'm looking to start a discussion about what browser people are using and why. Also, is anyone considering switching from IE to Firefox, or are your plans to stay with IE? Here's some food for thought... As of Feb. 2005, an estimated 35...

I'm thinking of getting a NAS and I'm wondering of getting FreeNAS. It seems like a pretty good product but does anyone know how reliable it is? A friend of mine told me about a scary story (involving data loss) so I need to know. Thank you in advance.

My wife and I have a ton of DVDs and CDs and I've been going through them (tagging, encoding, etc.). Now, my WD MyBook 1TB is filled and I have another 2 TB to complete the rest of my collection. I had another MyBook for video folders but it failed several weeks ago. So I'm thinking of either...

I moved my music / movie collection to my Buffalo Linkstation NAS a few weeks ago. It's an entire iTunes folder so I'm able to access everything. But it's really slow. iTunes takes forever to load but the music plays fine. I believe this is because the iTunes's library XML file is accessed a lot in...

I'm looking to build my own NAS (basically a DIY NAS) and I'm planning on doing it cheap, but not too cheap. One thing: I would invest in a RAID card setup but it's not a necessity. How should I start? Hardware / software? This is pretty much going to be used as a share hub at home, so 5-6...

I'm having a ton of issues with the transmission installed on my FreeNAS. It's working fine but the issue is with the permissions of the downloaded files (they're owned by root and have mask). I already tried changing unmask in the settings but it didn't work. I just want all of our users to be...

We've been in the process of moving our .NET platform from MSMQ to ActiveMQ. We run roughly 30+ million messages through it daily to capacity is pretty important to us. Now, during this migration, we're going to use VMs with NAS storage for our application servers. What's the best way to implement...

For the past few days, I've been trying to get my NAS server to wake up from an S3 sleep slate (particularly when the NAS is accessed by another user). We need to do it to increase the longevity of the server / limit its power usage. Is there a way to do this?

Hi experts, I keep getting this error when I'm trying to install a PHP: "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress." I've been using my NAS with a telnet connection. Here's what I have: ;If you wish to have an extension loaded automatically, use...

We have an EMC Isilon NAS and it's mounted like this: mount 10.20.30.11:/folder /content I understand that I can use the 1s command to find a file in a folder, like such: bash-3.00# ls -l /content/a/b/1.txt total 344131 rwxrwxrwx 1 1005 65533 140750 Feb 28 00:58 1.txt But now we can't access it...
